I did try to have a textbook on there for one of my classes, but I couldn't see the maps very well and it frustrated me.<br /><br />I agree about the hardcore history books. I can't sit and read them straight through. I use them when I'm looking for a particular subject and usually just read what's pertaining to that subject. Although, I do tend to get sidetracked and follow bunny trails.Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233526192031344288.post-29245075982673473472012-03-24T04:35:30.087-07:002012-03-24T04:35:30.087-07:00As to the history books I would say only about a q...As to the history books I would say only about a quarter are the real 'Hardcore' ones, and a lot of them are either so dull or hardgoing that they literally cannot be read right through. I do love me history books though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233526192031344288.post-35662456401054798522012-03-24T04:33:11.638-07:002012-03-24T04:33:11.638-07:00Surpringly some are going onto Kindle, but many ma...Surpringly some are going onto Kindle, but many many others never will. I have an aversion to the idea of a textbook or such on an e-reader, but that was before I started Kindle highlighting with impunity. <br /><br />That said, some do not convert well, and the format is almost unreadable on Kindle so certainly something is lost.

As much as I love my Nook, I do think something about those books would be lost if we tried to read them on an e-reader.Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233526192031344288.post-778999997104391092012-03-23T11:24:08.421-07:002012-03-23T11:24:08.421-07:00University list- Probably about 25 but thankfully ...University list- Probably about 25 but thankfully I dont have to read 'em right through. <br /><br />Kindle- about 15. <br /><br />Phyisical- Frankly I've lost count.

I had to force myself to put down the Nook and read a physical book so I could wean down the physical pile - with the exception of reserach books, of course.Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233526192031344288.post-7018364922954786642012-03-02T10:13:03.907-08:002012-03-02T10:13:03.907-08:00I have about 139 physical TBR and 118 on Kindle.

I've had a Kindle for four years, almost since they came out, but I still have fewer TBR on my Kindle because I tend to actually READ the books I buy for it. The physical books, on the other hand, are mostly ones I already owned pre-Kindle that have been languishing ever since! I've recently started working more on trying to diminish the physical pile. I'm tired of guests plucking a book off my shelf, asking "How is this?" and me having to say I haven't read it.Kristinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233526192031344288.post-33909465324169769252012-02-23T12:07:07.381-08:002012-02-23T12:07:07.381-08:00Cheryl!

You probably snowed under all those books and couldn't get out to say hello. ;-)<br /><br />I remember when I used to review regularly - at least 6 books per month, sometimes more.

Life often gets in the way!<br />I have my "must reads" in random boxes that lie around the house- my family is mostly understanding!
